@Chungying ChuIf you want more liability coverage, ask your insurance company if you can increase it.

Not only for the census ending in 2020 but also the projected population from 2020 to 2025.I agree that population increase is important and should be factored in when analyzing a property. 

not everyone wants to be a landlord.. there is a whole bunch of real estate that does not include landlording.. or landlording at small SFR levels so take those comments with a grain of salt  those investors basically focus on that one thing and that is buying the next rental to increase their cash flow by 200 a month.. 

They don't mention anything about paying payroll taxes, workers comp, complying with laws, etcReal estate agents can have a team around them where they do have employees if they have admin/support or marketing team.Regardless, if you want to interchange small business for commissioned sales people in my post you can.My post was mentioning that service providers in the real estate space are incentivized by their advertisements as it will increase their annual income.

I have clients who are increasing their cash flow by between $19k and $55k and their cost basis is between $145k and $200k.

Ithaca, 10.8% YoY housing prices increase.

"Getting in" is easy; making money, managing the business, with the increased financial risk of commercial properties is a whole different game. 

I think it will increase down the road, but right now the town is a bit on the past.

Furthermore you can vastly increase your returns through leverage using a non-recourse loan but that will definitely trigger UBIT but again the numbers can still make a lot of sense. 

California owners, should we increase our coverage, which should result in higher premiums?
